List: Top 3 Movies About Privacy/Surveillance

This week on Episode 187 of the InSession Film Podcast, we reviewed Oliver Stone’s latest film, Snowden, which of course dramatizes the events of Edward Snowden leaking confidential information to the public. Going off of that, for our Top 3, we decided to talk about our favorite movies about privacy and surveillance. Since the inception of government and security, the debate of surveillance and privacy has always been stirring. How far are we willing to go for the sake of security? Are we willing to risk potential harm for our right to privacy? Those are the questions that films, such as Snowden, as well as the films on our list this week tackle and grapple with at their core. There are many great contenders for this list and we found some great discussion when presenting our Top 3 this week.

On that note, which movies about privacy and surveillance would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
